Open one every 3-4 months. It's 8.5 ABV, should hold up well and become more malty as the hops fade.

BTW, I am not advocating aging beers like this one. Just in this case, he doesn't like the beer he already has, was interested in what aging does to beers.....seems like a slam dunk. I don't want to start the whole "you're not supposed to age hoppy beers" debate.
Hey! I read you are not supposed to age hoppy beers?!
